Starters and Contactors

Contactors are available for many types of applications and come in varying sizes with numerous features. These electrically controlled switches have a lower power level than switched circuitry and are used for switching an electrical power circuit.

Contactors are used to control lighting, electric motors, heating, thermal evaporators, capacitor banks, and many kinds of electrical loads. Typically, contactors and starters are built with a space-saving design and utilize the newest state-of-the-art technology. They are constructed to be strong, durable and manufactured of temperature resistant insulating substances that meet or exceed NEMA standards throughout the world.

Motor Controllers

With starters and Contactors, you can be sure that all electric motors will operate at peak performance. They also provide overload protection for a single motor or a whole group of them. Magnetic starters provide protection in case of a power failure while offering a safe way to start an electric motor with a large load. Combination motor starters have built in features for many situations and requirements including phase loss, manual and auto reset, anti-cycling and stall and locked rotor protection.

Most contactors made today will meet or exceed UL, CCC, IEC, CSA and CE standards.
